Much as described below, a basic Victorian back street boozer. We found the welcome warm from customers and staff alike, plenty of banter. Still only one ale on, Masterbrew, which was in good condition. I’d be happy to come back for a pint or include in a crawl for a swift one.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Dragoon
Once on the main road to the Medway Towns, this Shepherd Neame pub is now a local on a quiet street. It has been partly remodelled inside but retains a three-part bar counter serving the three surrounding rooms (all of which are - oddly - at slightly different levels). Further small seating area to the rear. Plainly furnished, with minimal decor. Darts, pool and bar billiards. Has a total of six handpumps, but just Master Brew (£3.00, thankfully in good form) is available. Glad to see it still going, but felt less welcome than on my previous visit five years ago so marked down accordingly.

The Dragoon is a Shepherd Neame pub with central bar that is surrounded with different drinking areas. The usual Shepherd Neame draught is available and the four hand pumps on the main bar and two on the back bar where all wearing Master Brew badges. There are TVs throughout and Sky Sports is shown, but as no sport was on during my recent lunchtime midweek visit there was some low background music. There are a couple of dartboards and a pool table can be found at the rear. There is a small smoking area out the back.
The governor was polite, but I didn’t feel overly welcome and I’m not the biggest fan of Master Brew so I don’t plan to return anytime soon.
